MY NEW HOUSE [top of page]
|
|
My new house
|
You should see my house
|
My new house
|
You should see my new house
|
|
|
No rabbit hutch about it
|
I bought it off the baptists
|
I get the bills
|
And I get miffed
|
At the damn polyester fills
|
The interior is a prison unconscious
|
|
|
My new house
|
Keep away from my new house
|
|
|
Wash the drawers of pills
|
It's got window sills
|
With lead centred in the middle of them
|
|
|
My new house
|
Is no beatnik hang-out
|
|
|
That Halifax copter
|
Sure dropped me a cropper
|
|
|
Sometimes I think I'll ring Swine-Tax [1]
|
And go back to my flat
|
|
|
But my new house
|
I do love the mad things about it
|
|
|
According to the postman
|
It's like the bleeding Bank of England
|
|
|
Creosote tar fence surrounds it
|
Those razor blades eject when I press eject
|
|
|
My new house
|
Could easily crack a mortal, it
|
|
|
The spare room is fine
|
Though a little haunted
|
By Mr. Reagan who had hung himself at number 13
|
Mr. Reagan hung himself at number 13
|
|
|
It'll be great when it's decorated
|
My new house
|
|
|
